Israeli Women are a Tough Breed

Maariv 30.11.2012 features a photo of HIla, the 28 year old head of the testing division responsible for the testing and transfer of Iron Dome batteries to the Air Force who is in her 9th month of pregnancy (expecting to give birth next Sunday). The battery was completing a series of testing at the testing field when Israel assassinated Ahmed Jabri. The team realized that they could close the gap between testing and deployment and in the course of 60 hours were able to deploy the Iron Dome battery to defend Tel Aviv. Hila is an aeronautical engineer married to an Air Force officer.

When her husband’s commander told him he was sending him home to be with his wife as she was about to give birth, he replied that his wife wasn’t home. [Maariv reporter Achikam Moshe David]

From Ofer Neiman: A photo of body painting on a pregnant woman (one hopes not a tattoo) published on the official Israeli Border Police Facebook page. The baby/foetus in the image is sleeping under a blanket with the Border Police's logo. The caption-- לוחם נוסף בדרך -- means: 'Another fighter on the way..'"

On LGF, GAZE capitalized has a specific meaning. The old LGF dictionary is now gone (it had to be removed when its creator (Zombie) proved dishonest in other matters), but its definition of GAZE is still observed here:

To glare with silent disapproval at a troll who has intentionally attempted to derail a topic. A sign of non-acknowledgment of a particularly offensive or inflammatory post, and a sign to other commentators not to "feed the troll" (pay attention to a disruptive commenter). Usually written all capitals.
